By a Dafa practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) There is a female Dafa practitioner from the countryside of Changchun city, Jilin province, called Xue Mei. She is known as a cheerful person, and her financial situation is not good. She relies on a small business for making a living. Xue Mei saved the train fare to Beijing to appeal and went to Tiananmen Square to validate the Dafa on her own. She unfurled the truth-clarifying banner, and she was arrested and taken to the Beijing West District Detention Center on February 12. It was before the 2002 Chinese New Year. She was immediately arrested and interrogated in the detention center. The police shocked her with electric batons from the leg to the arm and the shoulder. They then shocked her head and the other side of her body. Upon seeing that she was not frightened, the police brought buckets of cold water and poured it down the front of her clothes. She was so cold and leaned forward, so the police pulled back her collar to pour water down the back of her clothes. Finally, they poured a bucket of cold water onto her head. She was trembling badly from the cold. She condemned the police for their behavior. The police interrogated her for over two hours and sent her to the cell after midnight. They did not allow her to sleep and refused to let her change out of her soaked, freezing clothes.

A female Dafa practitioner in her forties from Inner Mongolia went to Tiananmen Square to validate Dafa. She was arrested and sent to the West District Detention Center. She lived in a very remote countryside. She only learned about fellow practitioners validating the Dafa in February 2002. She felt that she should also bravely step forward because she has benefited from practicing Falun Gong. She contacted about 20 to 30 practitioners in the nearby areas and shared experiences with them. They went to Tiananmen Square to validate Dafa together. She was then illegally arrested and sentenced to five years of imprisonment.
